Video of the Week: Shetland Pony Steeplechase

How do good riders get so good? A lot of them start their careers during the fearless years of youth. If you can stick to the saddle of a spunky Shetland Pony as a kid, you’ll probably do alright with big horses as an adult.

Watch as these young riders navigate a pony-sized steeplechase course aboard some adorable race ponies at a British show in 2009.

That was just so great and so cute at the same time. What a great thing for these young equestrians to learn and do. It's our future riders and trainers of the world!

I wish I could race horses-or ponies. But I'm too tall...
